Howdy folks:
We have an external survey application that produces a GeoJSON file each time a new survey is completed. Currently, we can copy this GeoJSON file up to an Amazon S3 bucket. This happens about once a week.
In ArcGIS Online, I can create a new item and specify a URL that access the file on S3.
Once I have the file in Content area, I can create a Feature Layer based on it and then use that feature layer in a map and in an application. There is a lot of great functionality I can add including the ability to search all of the attributes in the GeoJSON data and the polygons representing each survey area are shown on the map.
Now I have what I think is a simple question. If I copy a new GeoJSON file to Amazon S3 and overwrite the existing file, will my Feature Layer automatically see the new features in my updated GeoJSON file?
If "Yes" then I am all set.
However, if the Feature Layer does not automatically get updated, how can I achieve this in an automatated fashion?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
